Objectifs

Overview

Strongly increasing societal demand in the fields of Environment, Sustainable Development and Health, implies a synergy of advanced skills in Chemistry and Biology Sciences. In order to be able to effectively respond to this demand and to implement innovative solutions providing efficient answers to these requests, it is essential to perfectly understand the interaction of contaminants with living organisms and particularly their structures, properties, reactivities/activities in natural ecosystems. The “Chemical and Microbiological Characterization for Environmental Issues” (CMCEI) second year course of the Master in Chemistry and Life Sciences aims to train specialists with knowledge of the most recent advances in analytical chemistry, physico-chemistry, molecular biology and environmental microbiology.

Program objectives

Entirely taught in English, the first semester is devoted to the knowledge of contaminants cycles and to the application of different techniques for the analysis of chemical elements and species of interest in various compartments of environment, the identification of microorganisms presenting a risk for environment or public health, but also quality assurance, critical evaluation of scientific publications and /or technical documentation.

The second semester consists of a 6 months research internship in the field of chemical and/or biological analysis applied to the environment in IPREM teams.

The course gives a large place to learning by scenario projects, which enable the student to understand scientific approach of research as well as to put into practice various techniques and to deepen the reflection on his/her professional project.

Student Learning Outcomes

At the end of this program, the students in the «Chemical and Microbiological Characterization for Environmental Issues”

Have an expertise in modern techniques in chemistry, molecular biology and microbiology
Synthesize technical and research documentations to produce a technical study
Plan and define a research or R&D project in analytical chemistry, molecular biology, microbiology or environmental survey
Manage and carry out a project
Manage field experiments to estimate the efficiency of chemical or biological methods for the protection of the ecosystems
Interpret and validate results of chemical and biological analysis
Produce summary report describing the experiments done, the applied methods used and the results obtained

Pré-requis nécessaires

Needed Prerequisites

Le M2 CMCEI est accessible aux étudiants ayant obtenu le niveau M1 SAVE ou BME.

Pour les étudiants extérieurs à l'UPPA l'intégration en seconde année est soumise à une sélection sur dossier pour les étudiants justifiant d’une formation de niveau équivalent et jugé suffisant en biologie, en chimie et en environnement (Biologie moléculaire, bioinformatique, microbiologie, microbiologie de l'environnement, écotoxicologie, biostatistiques, prélèvements et traitement des données de terrain, physico-chimie, chimie analytique, environnement).

The M2 CMCEI is accessible to students who have obtained a M1 SAVE, M1 BME or equivalent level.

For students outside UPPA, integration in the second year is subjected to a selection on curricula with equivalent training level and with sufficient skills in biology, chemistry and environment (Molecular biology, bioinformatics, microbiology, environmental microbiology, ecotoxicology, biostatistics, field sampling and data processing, physico-chemistry, analytical chemistry, environment).

Applicants must be fluent in English, both in writing and speaking. An applicant whose native language is not English has to take a recognized international English test.
